COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONSo called because of the immediate ruinous effect on your palate. 100+ IBUs. Bracingly bitter. Thick, pungent hop aroma. We would say that no hops were injured in the brewing of this beer, but that would be a massive lie. In fact, the words "Stone Ruination IPA" are what older hop vines use to cause little hop vines to quiver with fright and lose sleep at night . We at Stone honor the brutal massacre of countless hops with this "Liquid poem to the glory of the hop!" Paganism at its best!

very thick rocky white head. also very hazy with an orange tint. Grassy and citrus aromas, touches of pine and malt. Strong bitterness backed by malt that only serves to help coat the bitterness around my mouth. Nice and clean, though, with slight alcohol warmth. Extreme for sure, but nothing to write home about.

On tap at Martins West. Perhaps I’ve said this before, but this might be the quintessential Big Boy West Coast IPA. Massive, thick, pine-y, stewy hops. This isn’t beer...it’s bouillon. Although barely enough for Santa Rosa’s own Jason Jones.
